    The marked price of a machine is Rs. 18000. By selling it at a discount of 20%, the loss is 4%. What is the cost price of the machine?

    A) Rs. 10000                     

    B) Rs. 12000

    C) Rs. 14000                     

    D) Rs. 15000

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Given marked price of machine\[=Rs.\,18000\] \[\therefore \]      Discounts\[=\frac{20}{100}\times 18000\]                         \[=Rs.\,3600\] \[\therefore \]      \[SP=18000-3600=Rs.\,14400\]\ If loss is 4%, then             \[CP=\frac{100\times SP}{100-r}=\frac{100\times 14400}{100-4}\]                   \[=\frac{100\times 14400}{96}\]                   \[=Rs.\,15000\]
